    Hi. I'm interested in purchasing a new mobile/standard hf rig(0-30Mhz) that does 11m fm frequencies from the box and really don't want to pay much more than £700. I'm aware that the Icom 706 is easily modified, but the mod would deplete the default warranty. Any ideas please? Cheers in advance.
